This Blues season has read like a movie script. Now it's time to cap it off with a Hollywood ending at home.

ST. LOUIS — I started writing this article at 2 a.m. on Sunday, June 9.

I couldn't sleep. I mean, could any of St. Louis?

17 hours from the time I started writing this, the Blues will be playing for a chance to win their first Stanley Cup in franchise history and June 9, 2019 could be a date we all remember for the rest of our lives.

After 52 years of existence, you really do wonder if it's ever going to happen. Is this franchise we've put so much of our time, energy and love into ever going to give us the payoff we've all been waiting for?

If the Blues were ever going to win a Stanley Cup, this is the team and the story line to make it happen.

Preseason excitement turns to early season depression turns to new year desperation turns to late season revival turns to playoff machine.
